Chapter 306: Pride
"Is Wuya still in Hong Kong?"
Wu Feng asked curiously: "After poking such a big 'hornet's nest', Luotuo certainly wouldn't let him continue wandering around here in Hong Kong; that would be too provocative!"
"Big Brother is wise!"
Li Xin extended his thumb and said admiringly: "Wuya has already gone to Siam; I heard it's to guard a gambling hall belonging to Dongxing on a gambling ship!"
"However, the control of one of the streets in the Causeway Bay territory, which was forcibly taken from Ben Shu, is in the hands of Wuya's trusted subordinate. That should count as payment for Wuya's work!"
No wonder they say a reckless man like Wuya is useful.
Of course, a guy like Wuya belongs to the double-edged sword variety.
If things go wrong, there is a possibility of hurting oneself, and that feeling wouldn't be pleasant.
In the movie, didn't Luotuo die at the hands of Wuya?
"Is Luotuo not even pretending anymore?"
Wu Feng was somewhat surprised and asked curiously: "Did something happen that caused this person's confidence to inflate?"
"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from Big Brother!"
Li Xin said admiringly: "Tonight, Luotuo will be hosting a grand banquet at Youguchi Restaurant!"
"What happy occasion is there?"
Wu Feng asked curiously: "Given Luotuo's personality, without a major happy event, he generally wouldn't make such a big fuss!"
"Luotuo is hosting this grand banquet to openly celebrate making a big profit in the Japan stock market!"
Li Xin's expression was a bit strange, but mostly one of admiration: "It is said that Luotuo invested 50 million into the Japan stock market and has already earned a full tens of millions!"
"According to him, this is no different from robbing money, so naturally, he has to celebrate properly!"
Speaking of this, he chuckled: "By the way, it's also to intimidate the faction under Ben Shu!"
The saying "money is king" is not just for show.
Luotuo directly displayed his 'formidable' financial strength, and the kind that is legitimate, which is indeed very intimidating; there is so much he can do with it.
It is also to tell the powerful veterans of Dongxing that he has plenty of ways to earn legitimate money!
Although this way borrowed the strength of Wu Feng.
"Truly an old hand in the underworld; this move of using power to suppress others is played very smoothly!"
Wu Feng sighed: "Ben Shu didn't lose unjustly this time!"
Ben Shu gives him the impression of being deep in schemes while also quite capable, with no lack of management ability.
It's just that, as it looks now, his decisiveness in action cannot compare to Luotuo!
Still the same saying, one mountain cannot contain two tigers!
Unless it's like Hongxing, where the Dragon Head is determined to wash his hands and go straight, only then is there room for Wu Feng to maneuver.
Otherwise, if Jiang Tiansheng were a more traditional, old-school society Dragon Head, and there were existences like Wu Feng and Jing Kun within the society, a fierce conflict would break out sooner or later.
Clearly, whether it is Ben Shu or Luotuo, both belong to the old-school underworld Big Brothers.
They certainly wouldn't hope for the appearance of someone with power and status capable of threatening the Dragon Head position while they are in charge of the society!
Ben Shu might have sensed it, or perhaps he didn't have that perception, but Luotuo was not polite at all.
Just as the society had a need for territory, he directly sent Wuya, the most obedient thug under his command, to take action and resolve the potential threat of Ben Shu in one fell swoop.
Ben Shu not dying but only being seriously injured is even easier for Luotuo to handle.
Directly revealing a portion of his own trump cards is already enough to intimidate Jinmao Hu and Kele.
That evening, Youguchi Restaurant was a scene of great bustle.
The members of the Dongxing Five Tigers who were in Hong Kong, the other Hall Masters, including the strategist Guhulun, all arrived early, each with a smile on their face.
Even Jinmao Hu Shamu was no exception!
He was already an old hand in the underworld; although the matter of Ben Shu caught him off guard, he didn't take it too much to heart, as the Dragon Head Luotuo had already given him a promise.
As for Kele, in front of so many Dongxing Big Brothers, he didn't have the guts to stir up trouble at all!
Luotuo was beaming with joy, standing personally at the entrance of the restaurant to welcome guests.
Today's banquet was not just a gathering within Dongxing; he also invited other peers.
With such a big commotion, the local police station naturally sent many police officers to monitor.
Several police vans were parked in a conspicuous place nearby, with no intention of hiding at all.
Clearly, the police station was also giving a subtle warning, hoping that Dongxing's Luotuo would not cause any trouble.
Luotuo was in a great mood at this time, so how could he have any thoughts of causing trouble?
When Deng Bo of Wo Shing arrived, he welcomed him with a face full of smiles.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Luotuo, you've made a huge profit this time!"
The sourness in Deng Bo's tone could be smelled from far away.
There was no help for it; he didn't have Luotuo's boldness and only invested 20 million this time.
Now, the profit was only two-fifths of Luotuo's.
That was income in the unit of tens of millions of Hong Kong Dollars, and the legitimate kind at that.
In his heart, his intestines had long since turned green with regret.
If he had known Wu Feng was reliable, he would have taken out all the legitimate money he could move and invested it all in the Japan stock market!
"Haha, it's all eating by following Wusheng; I can only say it was a bit of a surprise!"
Luotuo said with a smile, 'modestly': "This can also be considered a big gamble; fortunately, my luck was good!"
"Then do you have any thoughts of increasing your bet?"
Deng Bo was not polite either, saying with a fake smile: "The opportunity is very rare!"
"That is only natural!"
Luotuo laughed heartily and said, "Not only will I invest heavily myself, but the Hall Masters under me won't be left behind either!"
Hiss...
Upon hearing this, Deng Bo said in surprise, "Your move is a bit too big; aren't you afraid of accidents?"
"Afraid of what!"
Luotuo said boldly, "I've inquired clearly: the capital Jiang Tiansheng of Hung Hing invested is at least over one hundred million Dollar; that's what you call a big move!"
"If he isn't afraid of losses, what does my little investment count for?"
"No way, you were able to find out such secret information?"
Deng Bo was startled and asked skeptically, "Could Jiang Tiansheng be playing you?"
"Why would he play me for no reason?"
Luotuo said dismissively, "This news was likely leaked by Jiang Tiansheng himself!"
"Wusheng handed over all the investments in the underworld to Jiang Tiansheng to handle!"
"The capital we invested is not small; his approach is just to put our minds at ease!"
"Even if the investment really fails, we wouldn't have the face to cause him trouble!"
Speaking of this, Luotuo said amusedly, "If you knew Jiang Tiansheng lost one hundred million Dollar in the stock market, would you have the face to keep causing him trouble?"
"This, I really wouldn't!"
Deng Bo was stunned upon hearing this and shook his head, saying, "I just don't quite understand what kind of game Wusheng is trying to play?"
"You old guy are overthinking it, right?"
Luotuo said irritably, "The matter of investing in the Japan stock market was something we requested ourselves!"
"I reckon if it weren't for the sake of face, Wusheng wouldn't have agreed at all!"
"Given the kind of people we are, Jiang Tiansheng's approach is just a precaution."
